On the Issue of Villiage Idiots (VI's)

[Mastermind of Sin]

I'd also like to point out that being awful at Mafia isn't a flaw limited to idiots. Very clever and articulate people can also be quite awful at mafia.

You're talking about me, aren't you?

yes, being bad at mafia is not limited to you, Stoofer.

*shrug*

no one's bad if they win. a shitty looking player can find scum and a scum can get to L-1 every day, but if theyre alive at the end of the day theyre better than you

=P

This post is almost entirely wrong.

QFT. BM won a game as scum...proves you wrong right there...

In all seriousness, though, there are games where people play horribly and still win. That doesn't make them any less bad.

There is a frequent argument out there that lynching bad townies is helpful for the town. This is a terrible argument, and it needs to stop. It is the path of least resistance, and a terrible excuse. (It's frequently used as, "Well, if he's not scum, at worst we're killing a townie that will harm us, so VI can't be a bad lynch.")

QFT AGAIN. Thesp is on a roll. That argument is the easiest thing for scum to hide behind, it's great...for scum...
